The Mandalorian: Chapter 19 – The Convert

Chapter 19 of The Mandalorian takes audiences to Coruscant as forced workers of the Empire transition into the New Republic. Spoilers follow below. Outside of the bookends featuring both Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze, the episode mostly takes place on Coruscant. Outside of glimpses here and there during celebrations, we’ve yet to return to the Galactic capital post-ROTJ. Until now. But almost as soon as we’re there, Revenge of the Sith fans are in for…

Harrison Ford is Emmy-Worthy in Shrinking

As Shrinking heads down the backstretch of its first season. legendary actor Harrison Ford is turning in some of the best work in his career. When the review embargo lifted in January, there were six episodes available for review at the time on the Apple TV+ press site. Since that time, all ten episodes have been made available for press to view. I can say with 100% certainty after finishing the season that Harrison Ford…

Daisy Jones and The Six is A Rocking Series

Daisy Jones and The Six takes a documentary approach to this music-driven series based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel. My name is Danielle and I have a just-another-episode problem. I’m not sure exactly when I received the screeners for the series but as soon as I pressed play, I was unable to stop. Unlike the audience, I didn’t have to keep waiting for new episodes as all ten were available for review. Of course,…

In what is an absolute first for the series, Disney sent the first two episodes with hours to go before the third season premiere. It may be a total shocker but let me tell you, audiences are in for a treat. While Disney+ will keep to their weekly release model, the first two episodes…

History of the World, Part II is Worth The Wait

At long last, History of the World, Part II is finally seeing the light of day and the sketch comedy series is worth the 40-plus year wait. I never thought I’d see the day. I binge-watched the eight episodes almost as quickly as Hulu sent the screeners. Listen, I know the series is premiering on a Jewish holiday but try and fit in some time to watch the two episodes as soon as possible. Believe…

Star Trek: Picard – Season 3 Is Cinematic In Every Way

Star Trek: Picard makes its return for the third and final season and reunites the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in doing so. Engage! Paramount+ sent six episodes to watch ahead of the final season premiere. Going off of the trailer, I can say that there are sequences that are taking place during the final episodes. That’s not to say anything specific in terms of plot but my G-d, it’s so much fun…

National Treasure: Edge of History – Season 1

National Treasure: Edge of History concluded its first season with the thrills, mystery, and excitement that one expects from the franchise. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the spinoff series because it wouldn’t have the same magic without Nicolas Cage. The chemistry between Cage, Justin Bartha, and Diane Kruger were what drove the previous films. Jon Voight and Helen Mirren also added to the fun. What happens when you take them out of…

Shrinking: A Comedy About Therapy, Grief

Shrinking follows a grieving therapist as he resorts to whatever habits he can while not hesitating to break the rules with his clients. I know what you’re thinking–how is this series any different from the Tim Baltz-starring Shrink? Can both series co-exist in a world where therapists break the rules? It’s quite possible although I would love to see more of Baltz in action after the Seeso series got the short end of the stick.…
